This is lame.
Lame-ness
It's a Saturday night in June, and what am I doing? Sitting on my bed writing a paper for class. I should be out with friends or at least watching mindless TV shows, but nope, I am writing a reflection paper for communications - "Who am I?" Somehow I don't think "I'm not entirely sure yet, can I get back to you?" would be acceptable. Not even if it was in 10 point Arial font with 1.5 spaceing, 1 inch margins, and had a footer with the assignment, page number, and my last name. I really have no idea what I'm doing though, but no one else has posted questions on the board, so I feel like I should understand. Either the rest of the class hasn't started yet, or they're emailing the teacher in private. I am still doubful this teacher even exists. She hasn't emailed me or posted on the boards. But whether she does exist or not (this is reminding me of Skov's class), writing papers in summer is still lame. Reminds me of AP lit. At least the textbook is far more interesting than Sound and Fury.
Sound and Fury
Also lame. Written by Faulkner. Same name as the movie about cochlear implants, but boring and waaay harder to understand. Can be put off until tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.
Today
...was pretty good. Went to Lauren P's graduation party. That was slightly awkward as I don't know her all that well and we were the first to get there and they weren't set yet. And when people showed up, I didn't know them, so it was still awkward. They had awesome brownies though. But yeah, awkward, but okay. Then went out with Sara to my incompetent local T-Mobile store, and then to Best Buy where she bought her laptop. We hogged one of the Best Buy guys and interrogated him about everything and she finally decided on one. It's shiny and new and I am jealous becuase it is better than Precious. Got back to the house and went online in search of SK3 info. Started paper. Went on LJ. Continued with paper. Talked to uncle. Cousin Kevin is working at two different camps two weeks in a row and then is going to his own camp. Oi. Worked on paper more - 10 pt font sucks. Wrapped Father's Day gift. Shower. Discussed cooking with parents. Requested a saucepan, skillet-thingy, spatula, colander, spoon, and can opener for birthday. (The relatives are going to think I've really lost it this time. They were freaked when I asked for an iron last year.) Am now LJing and avoiding said paper which is bad becasue it is due tomorrow night and tomorrow is Father's Day and I have obligatory family stuff to do. (They're *all* coming over. ALL of them. And we're BBQing and mom wants to eat outside. See "weather" section for more details.)
Note to self:
Buy more gerbil bedding. Might as well get more crickets while you're at it.
Weather
It sucks. It's been about 90 F the past two days, with at least 90% humidity. I walk outside and die. Or at least sweat a lot and get really sticky, which is not pleasant at all. I was hoping the rain last night would cool things off, but it didn't. All it did was freak me out because I was on 35E and suddenly it sounded like hail was hitting the car, except it was rain and even with the windshield wipers going full blast I couldn't really see. But I didn't die (whew) and made it to the townhouse okay. And there was cake there, so all was well.
ETA: Psych
I just checked the statistics for the psych quiz. It was due at midnight. There's supposedly 20 people in class, but I only count 18 who took it. And only two of us got A's. Me, and one other person who got at least a 95%. There's a clump around 85%, and then the rest of the class is between 50% and 75%. I just don't understand. We had 75 minutes to take a 50 question test. That's more than a minute per question. It took me about 25 minutes to take it, and I looked up several answers during that time. No studying, got an A. How are people doing so poorly on this test? *very confused*
